Collarette · 2–4"LavenderW. McClaren (Alpen Gardens) (2004)United States

Alpen Diamond is a collarette dahlia that opens 2–4" blooms in lavender. A lavender-pink ring of petals opens around a bright white collar that pales as the bloom ages. The color does a quiet shift from day one to day four that photographers notice before florists do. It was bred in United States by W. McClaren (Alpen Gardens) in 2004.

Growing Alpen Diamond

Stake lightly and pinch once your plants clear knee height. You get more usable stems if you cut often, since this one rewards the hand that keeps reaching for it. Watch for bees working the open centers and cut in the cool of the morning before the color starts to soften.

Spacing: Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking: Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
